Jim,
1. Go to your son and his wife (I presume if you have them entered you
show their marriage with the two children).
Look for the spouses Icon below his name it will look like the head and
shoulders of a single person. Under the name will be a small number 1 if
he is only linked to his wife.
2. Click that Icon to open his list of spouses.
3. Click on Add New Wife, If you have the partner in your file click the
link to an EXISTING person, if not click on Add a NEW person.
If linking you will see the Name List where you can choose the partner,
if adding you will get an Individual Data screen where you can add her
name, birth etc. details.
4. In the Name List find the partner and click select with her name
highlighted. In the Individual screen enter all that you know about the
partner and click Save.
5. In either case the next screen should be the marriage information. In
the upper left click the box for this couple did not marry. In the date
and place boxes I would enter the date they first started living
together as well as the place where that occurred. If you do not know
that it is okay to leave those blank.
6. Save the "marriage" details.
7. You should see the spouse list again but now there will be two people
listed. Select the partner's name and click select.
8. Either add your son's child as a new person or again use link to
existing if you have already entered the child's name, birth etc.
Now your son should have two marriages, one to the common law partner
with their child and one to his legal wife with their two children.

Thank you for your reply Jenny.
Forums I have used in the past had a website where you asked questions, got
replies, and read others. This emailing for answers is new to me, but I'll
keep open-minded and see how it goes.
Here's my question...
My son was single, living common-law, when she conceived. They separated
before the child was born. The child took the mother's last name. My son
financially raised the child, who is now a teenager. He calls my son 'dad',
and they do many things together.
My son has since married a different person, and they have 2 children.
My question....how do I list the boy born out of wedlock? Please take me by
the hand with this, as I have only had Legacy for a week, so don't know the
nuances of the program (and I'm 77..an old dude. Lol).
BTW...I don't use a cell phone, or facebook, or twitter, or any of those
other chatty type things.
Appreciated.

I'm not sure what I'm doing.
I am new to Legacy, am entering family information, and have a
question about how to enter a particular person.
Isn't there a forum where, not only can I get my question answered,
but I can read other people's situations and learn from them?????
If no forum particular to Legacy, perhaps there is a forum used by all?
That#s what the Legacy User Group is all about. Ypu've obviously signed up
as you have posted a message, so ask your questions!
